Portal. Yeah, I went there.

Prince of Persia Sands of Time. The story was self-contained! There was no trilogy planned, Jordan Mechner wrote Sands of Time, the sequels were made as cash grabs.

The Final Fantasies. I have yet to see a good sequel to any of them, the beginning of the end started with X-2, which made all the drama in the original moot. No Final Fantasy should have a sequel. That is all.

well for me it's portal 2, even though it is a sequel, it was a great sequel and it finnished everything nicely. All the plot lines were tied up, and (in my opinion) there is little area for valve to make a sequel without it being about a completely different person.

Call of Duty 4
Left 4 Dead

They are two the spring to mind. The sequels took way from the first one I feel ripped off for there being sequels.

Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow

I'll be honest, I liked Gold / Silver / Crystal more than the original 3 Pokemon games. May be the only one that did, though...
Oh don't get me wrong, I loved Gold and Silver, but I would happily remove them from existence if the horrid ones after went too.

Planescape: Torment

However, I think another game in the Planescape setting would be a great idea with maybe mentioning the Nameless One. But there really shouldn't be another game focused on him.

I'm in the minority but I loved portal as it was, one game, the second one sucked in my opinion

Modern Warfare 2 is getting a third, that counts.

MW2 wasn't terrible, just average to the extreme. MW3 is just going to be shit. A multimillion-making shit.

Anything after Heroes of Might and Magic III. And in the same vein, Warlords II. Just wish I could get Dosbox to run II properly...Warlords works fine...but not II?

My top two for this are Force Unleashed and the Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. TFU 2 had a terrible idea for a storyline, and was not helped at all by its pathetic length, and Mercs 2 just took all the wonderful freedom you had in the first and chopped it at the knees.

Dragon Age: Origins. Above-average Bioware RPG goodness, followed by this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMcVZQI6ybw].

Hmmmmm, interesting question. For me there should have been no more Final Fantasy games after 6, with maybe tactics being the exception.

Front Mission should have ended after the first game. None of the sequels really gave me that same feeling as the original(and evolved is just an atrocity).

Knights of the Old Republic. The second one isn't terrible, but it's not nearly as good as the first.

The Silent Hill series should've stopped at "The Room". Downpour would be better off being retooled as it's own independant story.

I want to say Fable, but 3 redeemed it somewhat... They should;ve just gone straight from Fable to Fable 3. Fable 2 sshould never have been made.
oh god what..

3 was even worse than 2, which was just awful. Fable >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2 > 3. It just shouldn't have gotten any sequels if they were going to fuck it up so badly.

How was 3 worse than 2? Obviously it wasn't everything it could've been, with the whole kingship thing being a massive disappointment, but the environments were much more varied, and the storyline more involved, the whole thing felt detailed, whereas Fable 2 just felt rushed out, buggy and (for me at least) laggy. I got the feeling that it was just a test for the 'dog mechanics' (if you will).

Then again that's my opinion and, as you said, really there shouldn't have been any sequels :/

NiGHTS into Dreams, so good that Yuji Naka never wanted to make a sequel since he felt he could never upstage the original. So Sonic Team did it without him after he left, and sure enough, it didn't upstage the original, it didn't get even close.
Now if only they would rerelease it.

It's a ways off to say "Beyond Good & Evil" yet.

Battlefield: Bad Company. If we could have Fable III without 1 and 2, that would be nice.
